I have asked a question :

2) Whom are you talking to ?

3) To whom are you talking ?

4) To who ae you talking ?


I could see these four usuage in many books

My question is

: 1) All these are correct ?
2) Which are correct ? or which one is correct ?
3) Is there any other ususage similar to this ?


And I got 27 Answers, most of them couldn't get me to avoid my question, becasue of different answers

( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjpRfO9PNxP3GJTEw_UER_7sy6IX?qid=20060607211854AAqjHaU )

However,

some websites say these are using becasue of Disuputed usage


Amid many of correct or incorrect answer, my friend send me this

Disputed usage: Who are you talking to?
Disputed usage: Whom are you talking to?
Undisputed usage: To whom are you talking?
Disputed usage: To who are you talking?

SO I doubt can we use Disputed usages or ?

Help me to find correct answer

Answer 1

Well "whom" is used as the object of a preposition whereas "who" is generally used as a subject. So any question using "who" instead of "whom" when the object necessitates "whom" is incorrect.

Also, you should not end a sentence with a preposition, such as "to".

Therefore, that only leaves option 3, "To whom are you talking?"

But in causal, everyday parlance, it is more common to see:

"Whom are you talking to?"

Is the last version incorrect? Strictly speaking, it is not correct as it ends in a preposition. But it is much more common even when used in a literary sense.

Answer 2

"To whom are you talking" to is the correct answer

Answer 3

WHAT?
